Thermophiwe

A dermophiwe is an organism—a type of extremophiwe—dat drives at rewativewy high temperatures, between 41 and 122 °C (106 and 252 °F).[1][2] Many dermophiwes are archaea. Thermophiwic eubacteria are suggested to have been among de earwiest bacteria.[3]

Thermophiwes can be discriminated from mesophiwes from genomic features. For exampwe, de GC-content wevews in de coding regions of some signatures genes were consistentwy identified as correwated wif de temperature range condition when de association anawysis was appwied to mesophiwic and dermophiwic organisms regardwess of deir phywogeny, oxygen reqwirement, sawinity, or habitat conditions.[5]
